The PineBuds Pro are open firmware capable ANC wireless earbuds. Some of the notable features include their light weight, 3 Microphones, ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), ENC (Environment Noise Cancellation) and high fidelity 6mm speaker. It is a fully community-driven side-project which anyone can contribute to, allowing you to keep control of your device even though hardware is proprietary.

Introduction
General information and tips about PineBuds Pro.
Buttons/touch sensors
Buds
One capacitive touch sensor is located on the outward facing surface of each bud near the logo.
Charging case
Charging case have a reset button in center under the lid which is hooked to ThinkPlus Semi SY8821 integrated circuit and that button reset it from the safety off mode.
Cleaning
PineBuds Pro only have IPX4 rating, so they are only splash-proof and cannot withstand immersion in water. Clean the charging case inside and out with a damp microfiber cloth. Inside, be careful near the pogo pins! The cloth easily sticks to them and may tear them. You can use a microfiber cloth at the end of a stick to immerse of the buds, but a cleaning tool made for this can help. When cleaning the buds, carefully remove the tips, place the buds on a damp microfibre cloth and one by one wipe it from all sides. Be careful with the protective mesh. If there is dirt in the mesh, you can carefully clean it with the brush of the previously mentioned tool. Wash the tips with soap and water, but be careful, they easily drip from your hand to drain. After drying them, carefully put them back to the buds.

Community projects
The following community projects are currently being worked on:
- Wireless charging, bringing wireless charging to the PineBuds Pro case using vacant contacts
- Silicone case, a transparent silicone case with an improved grip to the case
- Straps, to add straps to the PineBuds Pro
Disassembly / Assembly
Disassembling the charging case:
- First open the lid and then try to press the case from the front edge with a plectrum or a thin card. There are two clips on each side. Soon the case will snap open.
- Carefully unscrew and remove the PCB from the case.
Assembling the charging case:
- Screw the PCB back into the place.
- There is plenty of space, glue the coil to the bottom of the case.
- Close the charging case.
